Duntroon Winter Sports Day - India RiveIts early in the morning of Friday 27th. We have got the Duntroon winter sports today and I am looking forward to it. I have only ever been once before and it was a great opportunity to meet new people and catch up with old friends. To be honest, I didn't find it all that much fun at the start of the sports, but then when it came to the last sport (netball) I was really into it. That was my favourite game out of the four events that day. I wanted to stay and do more! I can't wait until next year.
Duntroon Winter Sports - Sarah Aronsen
The morning started with, "Welcome, to the Duntroon Winter Sports"
We had just arrived in Duntroon and we were about to begin. My group had Ultimate Frisbee up first. Honestly, I didn't really like that event, but once I got into it I was fine.
Ellen was our camera person, due to her injured leg. She came around taking lots of photos of us enjoying ourselves. By the time it was lunch I was already worn out. I had home made quiche made by my mum. After lunch we had one more final activity. I had soccer. We played a game but my team lost!Finally, the day was over. It was time to thank the coaches and staff that gave up a days work to teach us all the new skills. Regretfully it was time to go. We all left happy, feeling great after a long day doing awesome sports!

Pasta, M1 tries the different pastas, Tom's Group and Hayden's Group chose to add Chilli Sauce to their Pasta, Hayden's Group added a lot of Chilli Sauce into their Pasta while Tom's Group only put a bit of Chilli sauce into their Pasta. Hayden ended up getting a big Chilli Sauce Kick on one of his groups servings!

Mmmmm Pasta! This is Group 2's Pasta, they had Salami in their Pasta which made it even better! This pasta was replicated at home by Tom, a group 2 member.
In the normal World, you are not ment to play with food, But in the Science World, Scientists break the rules, I mean the Food rules, They play with Food when ever they like and this is one example, This is India, Tom and Sarah after they Burned Nuts for their Science experiment. They Burned a Brazil Nut, a Peanut and a Walnut. Why they did they do it: They did it to see what was the weight of each after each nut had been burned. They found the experiment extremely awesome.
